I get the impression from this comment and your last comment that
you are the kind of programmer who can't write even an expression,
let alone a line of code, that is bug free, and you don't want any
other programmers to be able to claim that they can write hundreds,
if not thousands, of expressions/lines without any bugs.
The fact that humans are mortal does not mean that it's a good idea
to kill people. The fact that we are mortal is in some sense what
makes _life_ so much worth living. Likewise, the fact that software
is so hard to write that we are bound to get some things wrong does
not mean that we should create broken software from the outset or
break things that people depend on, but rather find ways to cherish
the ways we discover to write bug-free code.
